Etisalat UAE, part of e&, du, STC, Zain, and Huawei jointly release IntelligentRAN in the Middle East

As a step to elevate the intelligence of wireless networks to the next level, Etisalat UAE, the telecoms pillar of e& in the UAE, du, from Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), stc, Zain, and Huawei jointly release IntelligentRAN in the Middle East. The launch of IntelligentRAN aims to inject intelligence to wireless networks and achieve autonomous driving network in the wireless domain in the future. Internet of Everything will lead to a 100-fold increase in network traffic and number of services by 2030. Operators are currently facing challenges of providing multiple services, as well as facing operation and maintenance complexities with the potential of higher energy consumption. With IntelligentRAN, Huawei will inject Artificial Intelligence while inheriting SingleRAN. The MIE (Mobile Intelligence Engine) is introduced in IntelligentRAN, which is divided into two functional nodes. In the site layer, MIE is introduced to meet the real-time requirements, and in the network layer, MIE is introduced to provide functions like post data analysis, training on the data gathered, and training of more precise models. Network and base station, MIE coordinate data, models, and decisions, jointly deliver intelligence to wireless networks, hence achieve fast provisioning for services.
